1727. Based on the evidence above, 3439 the Trial Chamber finds that in June 1995, the
Poskok Detachment (including former Unit members Miloš and Goran Opačić 3440 and at least
two other persons who had been trained at Golubić in 1991) was assembled and received
training at the Sova camp near Knin. At this time, the Poskok Detachment was part of the
Serbian MUP DB JATD. Based on the foregoing and recalling its finding in chapter 6.3.2, the
Trial Chamber finds that the Accused organized the training of the Poskok Detachment at the
Sova training camp.

lists covering the period of mid-August to October 1995, on which Poskok Detachment
members appear as beneficiaries, and recalling its finding in chapter 6.3.2, the Trial Chamber
finds that the Accused organized the financing of the Poskok Detachment from mid-August to
October 1995.

1995 considered in chapter 6.5.3.

Unit in the SAO Krajina in mid-1991. The Trial Chamber has received evidence reviewed in chapters 6.3.2 and

Krajina in July or August 1991.
